Cooperative Program
Because you give...
What you do
In short, you do missions.
Cooperative Program giving enables every church member to support mission efforts and keep those people doing mission work in the mission field and out of a fundraising role. The BGCT Cooperative Program supports missions/evangelism in Texas and around the world; Christian education through churches and the 23 Texas Baptist Institutions; and compassionate advocacy by speaking for those who do not have a voice.

How you work together
The Cooperative Program of the Baptist General Convention of Texas is a collective funding system that exists to carry out missions on a large scale. Just as one Christian alone cannot accomplish God’s mandate to reach the world, neither can one church do all that is asked of a body of believers. The task before us demands cooperation. [ More ]
Where your money goes
The money you give to your church does the missions and ministries of your church as well as the missions and ministries of the group of churches known as the BGCT. What these dollars fund and where they go are represented here in this pie chart. More information on each specific ministry can be found on this chart.
Why give?
Because together we can better accomplish God’s mission of reconciling the world to himself.
Who you help
The videos and information above tell the stories of just some of those who you help through giving. The Cooperative Program missions work begins with you and your church. The money you give back to God does the missions of your church and the missions of your convention which enables us all to do more than any one of us could do alone.
